BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We have abundant knowledge on drought responses of plants or soil microorganisms individually. However, there is a severe lack of knowledge regarding interactions in the plant-soil-microbiome continuum, and specifically root-soil interface traits including the role of root hairs. Here we investigated how water limitation propagates in a plant-soil-microbiome system upon stopping irrigation....
